Encouraging a prospective vet

I’d held off entering our new piglets into our herd book until today as Louise, a work colleague of the Other Half, was coming over with her daughter Claire.

Claire, who is in Secondary 4 (year 11), loves animals and wants to be a vet when she finishes school, so we’d invited her over to see our animals and meet her first piglets.

We also thought it would be a good opportunity for her to be a bit hands on, so she was given the job of inspecting and sexing all the piglets so they could be entered into the herd book.
